Stage-adapted therapies for immune-driven and fibrotic ILDs
Some ILDs, such as connective tissue disease-associated ILDs (CTD-ILDs), are driven primarily by immune dysregulation, while others, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), are dominated by fibrotic processes. A.D.A. develops stage-specific therapies designed to intervene at the most biologically relevant point of disease progression.
Myofibroblasts deposit excess ECM, which increases tissue stiffness and impairs gas exchange. This, in turn, results in further lung injury and fibroblast activation, perpetuating a self-sustaining activation loop that ultimately drives PPF and remodeling of the lung structure
Fibroblasts proliferate and migrate to the site of injury, where they are activated
White blood cells infiltrate the site of injury and release pro-inflammatory cytokines to support tissue repair, as well as profibrotic mediators that promote the activation of fibroblasts
The profibrotic microenvironment promotes the differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which play a major role in excess fibrosis

ADA001
ADA001 is an antifibrotic formulation targeting the TGF-β pathway, a central driver of fibrosis. ADA001 is indicated for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), where fibrosis is the predominant process, with the aim of slowing disease progression, preserving lung function, and improving patient outcomes.
ADA002
ADA002 is a self-assembling, immunosuppressant-based nanoparticle therapy targeting autoimmune-driven interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), particularly connective tissue disease–associated ILDs (CTD-ILDs). ADA002 acts in early-stage ILDs by modulating immune responses at disease onset, with the aim of preventing fibrotic progression
ADA003
ADA003 is a combination therapy based on ADA002, incorporating an antifibrotic molecule. It is indicated for ILDs where an additional antifibrotic effect is required. This dual-action approach addresses both the immune trigger and early fibrotic signals simultaneously
